Them There Eyes…

February 14, 2012

I live my life to an endless play-list of music. I walk around with imaginary headphones on and hear random tracks from Bjork, Coldplay, Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, and numerous other artists as I watch people going about their daily tasks. One of my, hands down, favorite artists is Billie Holiday. She has been one of the artists

my mind lately. Jazzy melodic moody sounds and an enormous desire to love and be loved is what I hear and think on when I listen to her sing. One of my favorite, more upbeat, songs from Billie is ‘Them There Eyes’. The line where she says, “Sparkle, bubble, get you in a whole lotta trouble”…is such a great one. How right she is about the power our eyes posses. Isn’t it funny how one glance, stare or wink can say so much about where a person is trying to lead you and about what a person is feeling. When I shoot boudoir portraits, or any type of portrait, I love getting to showcase a great pair of emotionally vested eyes. I did a shoot with a young lady that has a set of the most stunning eyes I’ve seen in a while. For all those ladies out there that say they have nothing sexy to put forward remember your eyeballs don’t get bloated or dimpled with cellulite…they simply tell a story. Enjoy…
